To be honest, I think ST is a different place now than when I would have more strongly considered using a killfile - con_carne Oct 21, 12:11 7
- I did not work hard on it. It's just a minimal implementation. - Beryllium Oct 21, 12:13 6
  - Excellent. You know what else would help you? - Spawn Oct 21, 12:14 5
    - Oh, you don't get them? It's linked to your Facebook account. -- nm - spamlet Oct 21, 12:21

    - [deleted]
    - Not a fan either. I much prefer the 2-2-1-1-1 format...but I guess those almost $1bil franchises can't afford all that travel. -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 11:46 3
      - I prefer 2-2-1-1-1 but all that travel is really unnecessary for a cross-country series. -- nm - spamlet Oct 21, 11:58

- As an aside, I think the conversation of who is better between Verlander/Scherzer and Kershaw/Greinke is great. - David Oct 21, 11:41 10
  - Add in Anibel Sanchez who made Verlander a #3 starter on results this full season. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 12:49
  - I have never felt as bad for an opposing player as I did Clayton Kershaw the other night. - Jim Oct 21, 11:42 4
    - Halliday in game 5 against best friend Carpenter was pretty brutal. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:43 3
      - Yeah, that was pretty bad as well. -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 11:45 2
        
        It is amazing how quickly Philly fell apart after that game. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:46 1
        
        Yup. Also, coming back to the team this year. It's amazing what an impact Chris Carpenter still has on this team, despite being done. - Jim Oct 21, 11:48
  - losing Hanley and Kemp really stung the Dodgers IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 11:42 3
    - Hanely double stung them because Mattingly insisted on running him out there. -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 11:43 1

WS Prediction: Boston in 5. Home field + too much talent advantage not to win it....SP Rotations... - budice Oct 21, 11:32 4
- The Red Sox MUST lose. Otherwise the superstitious fanatics, that are baseball players, will think they won because of their disgusting beards. - Jovian Oct 21, 11:36 2

I like Ryan more than I ever dreamed I would. He is like the deluxe version of Chad Pennington. - David Oct 21, 11:30 9

  - Yes, the Cooper part made me cry. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:36 5
    - Agreed. - Spawn Oct 21, 11:37 4
      - Peyton is one of those guys like Jerry Tarkanian who hate to lose more than they love to win. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:42 3
        
        This could be said for most FFL players. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 11:51 2

  - I almost worked for them. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 21, 11:47
- They need to tighten that system down considerably, but I don't know that insourcing is the answer. - Dr.Vermin Oct 21, 11:38 1
  - the ideal solution is both/and... - znufrii Oct 21, 11:46
